Anarkali Music video



I thought this music video was beautiful and wanted to share it with everyone. The song is lovely too. The title of the song is Supreme Ishq and sung by Shabnam Majeed. The theme of the song is based on the character of Anarkali, a woman who loved a prince, but was caged behind a stone wall by the prince's parents because they disapproved of their son's choice of love.

A little bit about Anarkali from Wikipedia.org

"According to legend, Muġal Prince Salīm, later to become Emperor Jahāngīr, fell in love with a girl named Anārkalī as a young prince. As she was a dancing girl, not of noble birth, the romance was forbidden by the prince's father, Muġal Emperor Akbar. Anārkalī, whose title means "pomegranate blossom" (bestowed for her beauty), was buried alive in a wall said to be located within the bazaar, by the order of Emperor Akbar. It is believed that her original name was Nādira or Sharf-un-Nisā.

Whether or not Anārkalī existed is controversial as there is no evidence that Prince Salīm ever fell in love with the courtesan, including no reference to her in Salīm's autobiography."
